The Commissioning Checklist: will help you double check that the J/133 is assembled properly and all systems and rigging are functioning properly. If a boatyard other than an authorized J/Boat dealer is performing the work, review this list with them to establish what needs to be done and by whom. - Page 8 J/133 OWNER GUIDE • Insert all lifeline gates/stanchions into the sockets provided along the edge of the deck. Secure each stanchion in place by tightening the two set screws in each base. We recommend that you dip the screws in blue Loctite or sealant before securing, so they don’t work themselves loose over time.
